   I have the same problem.  No one else did, UNTIL other people changed
   their Disk Options in Workspace->Preferences.  (Changing the prefs back
   to the default does no good.)  I also noticed that, when I inserted the 
   floppy, Workspace used the "fixed disk" options, not the "removable disk" 
   ones.  (Maybe that's why the icon didn't show up.)
   
   Maybe setting the "Disk Options" triggers this bug, and somehow the 
   Workspace thinks the floppy is a "fixed" disk. Perhaps device permissions 
   also have something to do with it -- my floppy devices are set like this:

I wonder. I can't eject floppies either, or opticals or CDs. But they show up with the  
correct icons, so WM seems to know what they are. In any case, I can't initialize them,  
which I COULD do with the hard disk when I have selected any of its directories, so WM  
doesn't recognize them as hard drives either.

I can't believe permissions have anything to do with it. In the first place, I expect  
that WM does some of its dirty work as root, since initializing floppies under 2.x could  
be done by anyone. Secondly, my login is part of operator group, so I should have access  
thru WM to the drivers without problem.
